Date: Tue, 19 Oct 2004 23:04:58 -0700 From: "Trevor Scroggins" Subject: [SDL] [PATCH] DirectX and SDL_WINDOWID Hack Hello, all. The IDirectInputDevice2_SetCooperativeLevel call in SDL_dx5events.c expects to be passed a root-level HWND. More often than not, a child window is used with the SDL_WINDOWID hack, causing the IDirectInputDevice2_SetCooperativeLevel call to fail. This is a small patch to SDL_dx5events.c v1.21 that fixes the problem by retrieving a handle to the root-level ancestor of the current SDL_Window and passing that handle to IDirectInputDevice2_SetCooperativeLevel.

The reason these libraries are built outside of the standard XFree86
tree is so that they can be linked as shared object code directly into
SDL without causing any symbol collisions with code in the application.

You can't link static library code into shared libraries on non-x86
Linux platforms.  Since these libraries haven't become standard yet,
we'll just include them directly.

These sources are synchronized with XFree86 4.2.1
